Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a sophisticated treatment available at Local Wound Care of Glendale, providing an oxygen-rich environment to accelerate the healing of chronic wounds. This state-of-the-art therapy is a key component of our advanced wound care services, offering patients in the Los Angeles area an effective solution for complex wound healing.
The Science Behind HBOT
HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This process significantly increases the amount of oxygen in the blood, which is then delivered to the wound site, enhancing the body’s natural healing process. Increased oxygen levels aid in fighting bacteria, reducing swelling, and promoting the growth of new blood vessels.

- Diabetic Foot Ulcers
